Q53NEET 2022 · PHASE 2Easy

Combination of Capacitors

The effective capacitances of two capacitors are 3 $\mu$ F and 16 $\mu$ F, when they are connected in series and parallel respectively. The capacitance of two capacitors are:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

$C_1 + C_2 = 16$ and $\frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1 + C_2} = 3 \Rightarrow C_1 C_2 = 48$ .
Numbers with sum 16 and product 48: 12 and 4.
So the answer is (d) $12\ \mu\text{F}, 4\ \mu\text{F}$ .
